Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of butadiene.
  • Butadiene is an important basic chemical and is used for example for the production of synthetic rubbers (butadiene homopolymers, styrene-butadiene rubber or nitrile rubber) or for the production of thermoplastic terpolymers (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers). Butadiene is further converted to sulfolane, chloroprene and 1,4-hexamethylenediamine (over 1,4-dichlorobutene and adiponitrile). By dimerization of butadiene, vinylcyclohexene can also be produced, which can be dehydrogenated to styrene.
  • Butadiene can be prepared by thermal cracking (steam cracking) of saturated hydrocarbons, usually starting from naphtha as the raw material. Steam cracking of naphtha produces a hydrocarbon mixture of methane, ethane, ethene, acetylene, propane, propene, propyne, allenes, butenes, butadiene, butynes, methylalls, C 5 and higher hydrocarbons.

  • a first column low boilers methane, ethane, propane
  • a second column high boilers C 5 + hydrocarbons
  • a stream containing butanes is obtained, from which isobutane is separated, for example, in a customary rectification column.
  • the remaining stream containing n-butane is used as feed gas stream for the subsequent butane dehydrogenation.

  • the separated isobutane stream can also be fed to a further use, for example, be used for the production of methacrylic acid, polyisobutene or methyl tert-butyl ether.
  • n-butane-containing feed gas stream is fed to a dehydrogenation zone and subjected to non-oxidative catalytic dehydrogenation.
  • n-butane is partially dehydrogenated in a dehydrogenation reactor on a dehydrogenating catalyst to 1-butene and 2-butene, wherein butadiene is formed.

  • hydrogen is selectively burned, which together with the combustion air as current (2) is supplied.
  • water vapor (3) is added.
  • a dehydrogenation gas mixture (5) is obtained which, after leaving the BDH, is cooled and fed to the second oxidative n-butane dehydrogenation stage (ODH).
  • ODH second oxidative n-butane dehydrogenation stage
  • the exit gas (7) of the ODH is compressed in several stages with intermediate cooling.
  • the aqueous condensate (8) produced during the intermediate cooling is discharged from the process.
  • the compressed butadiene-containing gas (9) is fed to an absorption stage which is operated with tetradecane as an absorbent.
  • an inert gas stream (10) is separated from the C 4 hydrocarbon stream (11).
  • the C 4 -hydrocarbon stream (11) is separated in a distillation stage into a butadiene-rich stream (13) and a substantially consisting of n-butane recycle stream (12).
